Actor and comedian John Fugelsang shot down ex-Fox host Megyn Kelly's attack against the Super Bowl LVIII's performance of "The Black National Anthem."
"Megyn Kelly says that Jesus is white and black face is alright," he said while speaking to MSNBC's Joy Reid. "I don't take it all that seriously. I mean this is somebody who said the pepper spray was a food and pizza was of vegetable and Fox was news."
Kelly had tweeted her pledged support of the "The Star-Spangled Banner" and suggested the Black National Anthem titled "Lift Every Voice and Sing" and performed by recording artist Andra Day didn't need to be a part of the big game.
"The so-called Black National Anthem does not belong at the Super Bowl," she tweeted. "We already have a National Anthem and it includes EVERYONE."
Back in 2013, when anchoring a prime-time show on the Fox network, Kelly found herself in the center of controversy for claiming that Jesus couldn't be anything other than white.
"Jesus was a white man, too," she said at the time. "He's a historical figure that's a verifiable fact, as is Santa, I just want kids to know that. How do you revise it in the middle of the legacy in the story and change Santa from white to black?"
Fugelsang mocked Kelly for her outspoken past.
"It does come back to the fact that Megyn was not a fan of anything that does not cater to her whiteness," he said. "I will give 100 bucks to anyone who can show me a tape of Megyn Kelly ever calling a white lawbreaker a 'thug' or an 'illegal'."
He then compared her to the super-white cartoon royal Elsa of Arendelle.
"I don't want to be too hard on her — I thought she was great as queen Elsa in 'Frozen,' continued Fugelsang. "But at the end of the day, the worst part about Megyn Kelly, if she were to come out and say that 'It was a great game, and Usher did a good job and I like the halftime show' — her base would kill her. They would call her woke. They would call her critical race theory.
"Hate is what she has to sell. It's all she's got."
